Be careful what you wish for!

Have you ever heard of that old saying "Be careful what you wish for, You just might get it??

Well, I am here to tell you, That is totally TRUE!!


Well,... that & the fact that God has a very funny sense of humor ( but, we all knew that one didn't we?)

Why do I say that? You ask?

Well, let me tell you a little story....


Woke up this morning feeling a little more groggier than usual, like I hadn't slept very well at all, & in my groggy, pre-coffee having brain I briefly thought

"Man, I really wish I didn't have to work today"

It was there briefly as I banished the thought as quickly as it came. I only work part time and I chastised myself for my laziness. After all, I DID need & want the money, so the morning went on and I didn't give it a second thought.

Just before  going to get ready to start my " get ready for work" routine the Phone rings, I answered it and it was my Husband. The call went as follows....

Me: Hello?

Hubby: Hang on a Sec... ( Hubby talks to coworker in the background, saying that his boss left & asking the coworker to help him keep an eye on the phones, because ( Their Dispacher) was at an apointment and  the boss forgot about it, & they were the only 2 in the building. ( comes back to phone) You there?

Me: Yes, what's up?

Hubby: School called, said Kid was sick to his stomach, needs to be picked up.

Me: (silently groaning) Ok, I'll call work.

( This  happens to be the ONLY child of ours that isn't old enough/mature enough to stay home by himself w/o one of us there)

Hubby: Well, call his Mom & see if She can take him first. I'd do it but you heard that I cant leave.

Me: *sighing* ok.

So, I hung up & called work, & let them know what was going on, considering that it was now less than an hour before i was suppose to be at work.

Next, I called the mom & noone answered at the home number, so I called her cell only to find out that she was about to have a bunch of Dental Work done.

So, That left just me.

Reluctantly, I called work and told them that it was a no- go, & fortunately they were really good about it.

So, you see? you REALLY DO need to be careful what you wish for....

Because, You truly just might get it!

Who Defines you?

OK! I had a Seriously Major light-bulb moment today!

Do you have someone in your life that for some weird reason, thinks that you are totally someone you are not even close to being? 


It may be because of something we did, some behavior we have/had                        ( Insecurity, Issues stemming from ADHD..etc) or whatever, but, now they have that Image burned into their brains and they Just wont let it go, & not only that they constantly try to remind YOU who they think you are. 

Listen closely to what I am about to say..... 


STOP IT!!! 

 My Major Lightbulb Moment was......

I have realized that for most of my life, I have let People define me. 
I have taken on who they said I was. Even when I knew it was COMPLETELY and utterly, totally wrong! 


I am SO DONE with all that Nonsense!!!! 


I Know who I am now, and I know my Strengths and Weaknesses. I will NO LONGER  allow someone to tell me that something I do all the time in other areas of my life is " Not my Strength" 


WHAT THE HECK???  


Who are they to Define me, when God says that he has Plans for me.( Jer 29:11) & when God has Given EVERYONE ALL gifts and Talents.


I am NOT going to continue to allow People to tell me who I am, what I can or Can't do ANY longer.  I have Awesome GOD-Given talents and abilities, I just had to Find them! :) and Now that I know them... there is only ONE person that I need to be Concerned about their opinion... 


The Person with Nail- scarred hands that Died For me over 2000 years ago! 




Now, before some of you go off in a Tangent. I didn't say that we didn't need accountablity, or self reflection. 


But, Don't Let Someone that's NOT God hold up your Mirror & tell you who you are! 


That is all! ;)
